ok so start of this week i set out to replace all the coolant hoses below and into the intake manifold
i've done that relatively issue free
finished putting it back together today i go to kick it over and it won't start. the starter goes but that's about it
this is what i have done so far:
checked there is fuel pressure (which i hilariously copped in the face)
checked all the vaccum hoses etc
used new genuine gaskets for both parts of the intake manifold
been over everything with a multi-meter - everything has power; spark plugs, fuel injectors, ignitor box, afm
checked spark plugs - ok (changed them not that long ago)
checked all fuses
i did manage to short out on the starter motor when i was doing up the bolts under the plenum (should had d/c'ed the battery, i know)
so i thought maybe the ecu is fooked, luckily enough i have a spare one from an old project i was going to undertake i plugged it in and it's the same
i tried just starting without any ecu and it's exactly the same as trying to start it with an ecu, starter turns over but there is just no combustion..
even have a video of me trying to kick it over:
any help would be awesome thanks
